Summary

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow says that her partner Susan's very scary bout with the coronavirus changed her perspective on how to cover the pandemic, and there were so many loose ends Rachel Maddow wanted to wrap up once the former president left office, like how his golf courses stay afloat despite losing money. In the second part of her Zoom chat with Stephen Colbert, the MSNBC anchor dove into the corruption of Nixon's Vice President, Spiro Agnew. You can learn more about it in her book, "BAG MAN: The Wild Crimes, Audacious Cover-Up, and Spectacular Downfall of a Brazen Crook in the White House." Learn more about your ad choices.
